Toward the end of the 19th century-during the boom of the Porfirio Díaz regime-overcrowding and extortion, sexual abuse and murder marked the lives of thousands of convicts locked up in improvised prisons, where the worst kind of criminal was thrown in with those who had committed misdemeanors, or even those who were innocent.
